How I did it
How to go to the Pergamon Museum
It took me
1 day
It made me
a bit sleepy.

How I did it: I've been interested in Persian miniatures since I found a page of some book inside a secondhand copy of Shakespeare's Sonnets.  I'm not entirely sure what it is, but I liked it so much that I framed it and put it on my wall.(I put a picture of it - the other side has writing on it, so I'm sure it could easily be identified, and is maybe not special, but it seemed very exotic and special to me.)At the museum the pictures were ten tim… Read how I did it…

How to take a life drawing class
It took me
1 day
It made me
tired but content.

How I did it: Looked up on the internet for a life-drawing class, and went along.  I was a bit surprised when the class started with lots of 1-minute poses.  That part reminded me a bit of sitting maths exams at university and having to race against the clock.  However, it did break down inhibitions I suppose.  I forgot all about trying to make a picture and just concentrated on drawing as quickly as I could for a while.Then when we… Read how I did it…

How to put a light in my bathroom
It took me
7 months
It made me
giddy.

How I did it: My boyfriend did it.  We had the three wires coming out of the wall, but we had to screw the lamp-fitting to the wall (with wall-mounts) and that was what scared me.  But it wasn't so bad. Read how I did it…

save three months of living expenses
1000 saved/3200 remaining. 3 weeks ago

I’m only really just starting this, because since I got my baby emergency fund together, I’ve been saving for my new laptop and my flight home. Now I’ve spent the money on them both and I can get the savings underway!

I’m impatient to start, but I guess it’ll have to wait until I get paid. :)

list three things every day that made me happy (read all 7 entries…)
21 October 4 weeks ago

I feel so happy and optimistic at the moment, I almost don’t want to analyze it, in case it goes away. But anyway:

1. I feel energetic today. This is really weird to me. Usually I feel like I need to sleep all the time.

2. Only eleven days until I go home!!! And I sort of cleared it with my boss. I guess you’d think that no-one would plan an extended trip away and buy plane tickets without telling their work until 11 days beforehand, but… well… I did. And it seems to be okay! So that’s a weight off my mind. Woohoo! Eleven days until it’s summer, until I see (and hug) my boyfriend, until NaNoWriMo!!!!!

3. The scary work presentation is over, and I think it went okay. I feel better about my work progress than I have for ages. I don’t know why. I just do. It feels like the things I thought I’d wasted lots of time on are finally starting to help me understand what I need to do and now I finally know what I need to do. Gosh, do I sound manic?

:)
